My favourite band called Nirvana. Not by much, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcf19K5QFqQ

Every once and a while when I´m listening to this album I really do go crazy, diggin´the hell out of this album. But I have to be in the right mood for that to happen. What that mood that is I don´t know, I would really like to know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY1APSk0SS0

Everybody loves this album and I do too. However, I think if you´re going to make a 6+ minute song it´s not quite enough to have a beautiful (no, make that drop dead gorgeous) section that´s just repeated over and over again with a couple of jams thrown in here and there. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhuG2hCJtsk

To be honest I´m not sure if I´ve ever listened through the entire album. Well, I have, but I´ve never payed full attention the whole time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoW_0NuaPj4

Despite being the protegées of The Beatles, Grapefruit only managed a short and rather unsuccesful career. Don´t really need to add that I think it´s a pity, do I? I would describe their music as very Beatles-y with a baroque twist. Sounds great, doesn´t it?:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V920QCpX3LU

Jeff Lynne didn´t just appear out of thin air in the music business. He was not just in one, but TWO (you´ll find The Move lower down on this chart) of the best bands of the late sixties. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djsy0daQqpY

So maybe this is cheating a bit, one might argue it´s not a real album. So what? It has my favourite Rolling Stones album cover by far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSQuiOL4cyc&noredirect=1 But again, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, AVOID THE COVER OF MY GIRL!!! Why two so great bands decided to cover such a crappy song is beyo

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 85.0/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.0.

An interesting chart that clearly defines your taste in music ¬ and has a few albums that I missed along my own journey and will have a listen to ¬¬ and for that I am most grateful. The inclusions of 2 Australian & 1 New Zealand albums deserves applause!

as you have only one album for artist, found the Stones' entry interesting. "flowers" is one of their better 60's albums.
haven't seen the Music Machine on any other list. older brother owned that album. Played the shit out of it as a kid.

I have a lot to check out. I feel like there is a lot I've yet to listen too that sounds up my alley. Great to see some lesser known albums get a chance to be seen and now put on my radar.

I don't necessarilly agree, but I certainly UNDERSTAND why one would prefer that "Present Tense" album to "Pet Sounds". The album's opener might be the most hauntingly beautiful, mind-altering, gorgeous "new" thing I've heard this year. It's really rare to come across such mastery of sound and production with great melodies as well (the entire album and bonus tracks that is). Right below that album sits "Gandalf", an equally gorgeous experience I've got from your chart. I don't know where you find all these gems...
Keep 'em coming!
